Valentinian I
| FLAVIVS VALENTINIANVS was born at Cibulae in Pannonia Secunda in 321 to Gratianus the Elder. He joined the army and rose in command, but was banished to Egypt in 362 by Julian the Apostate because he was openly a Christian. He was recalled by Jovian in 363, and when Jovian died he was hailed as Augustus on February 26, 364. He split the Empire with his brother Valens, with Valens receiving the east. His reign was a series of campaigns against the Germanic barbarians, and he finally died at the fortress at Brigetio of a stroke on November 17, 375 while angrily berating a barbarian peace delegation. |
